An interim director has been appointed for Gannon University’s Villa Maria School of Nursing.
Kathleen Patterson, Ph.D., the previous director, will be accepting a full-time faculty position starting in July. Carolynn Masters, Ph.D., the incoming dean of the Morosky College of Health Professions and Sciences, wrote in a faculty email that it is fortunate Patterson will remain on faculty to share her experience.
A search committee intent on finding a new director for the nursing school has been appointed.
In the meantime, Dawn Joy has agreed to serve as the interim director until the committee selects a permanent director.
Joy has been serving Gannon University since 2001 as an adjunct faculty member, and she became a full-time faculty member in 2012. Joy previously served as the faculty coordinator for leadership seminar classes and as a member of several search committees.
